Marc 6:4

Listen to Marc 6:4
4 Mais Jésus leur dit: Un prophète n'est méprisé que dans son pays, parmi ses parents et ceux de sa famille.

Marc 6:4 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:4

But Jesus said unto them
The following proverb;

a prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among
his own kin, and in his own house;
the same as in ( Matthew 13:57 ) ; (See Gill on Matthew 13:57). Only the phrase, "among his own kin", is here added: very probably some of those that made these reflections, were some distant relations of Joseph, or Mary; for as Jesus was now in his own country and city, and in his own native place, so among his kindred and relations; who envied his gifts and attainments, and objected to him his rise from that branch of their family, which was the most mean and abject.

Marc 6:4 In-Context

2 Et quand le sabbat fut venu, il commença à enseigner dans la synagogue; et plusieurs de ceux qui l'entendaient, s'étonnaient et disaient: D'où viennent toutes ces choses à cet homme? Quelle est cette sagesse qui lui a été donnée, et d'où vient que de si grands miracles se font par ses mains?
3 N'est-ce pas là le charpentier, le fils de Marie, le frère de Jacques, de Joses, de Jude et de Simon? Ses sœurs ne sont-elles pas ici parmi nous? Et ils se scandalisaient à son sujet.
4 Mais Jésus leur dit: Un prophète n'est méprisé que dans son pays, parmi ses parents et ceux de sa famille.
5 Et il ne put faire là aucun miracle, si ce n'est qu'il guérit quelques malades, en leur imposant les mains.
6 Et il s'étonnait de leur incrédulité; et il parcourut les bourgades des environs en enseignant.
